Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out (Live at the Auditorium Theatre, Rochester, NY - 02/08/77)

Tear drops on the city, Bad Scooter searching for his groove

Seem like the whole world walking pretty and you can't find the room to move

Well, everybody better move over, that's all

'Cause I'm running on the bad side and I got my back to the wall

Tenth Avenue freeze-out

Tenth Avenue freeze-out

Well, I was stranded in the jungle trying to take in all the heat they was giving

The night is dark but the sidewalk's bright and lined with the light of the living

From a tenement window a transistor blasts

Turn around the corner, things got real quiet real fast

I walked into a Tenth Avenue freeze-out

Tenth Avenue freeze-out

And I'm all alone, I'm all alone

(And kid, you better get the picture)

And I'm on my own, I'm on my own

And I can't go home

When the change was made uptown and the Big Man joined the band

From the coastline to the city, all the little pretties raise their hands

I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh

When Scooter and the Big Man bust this city in half

With the Tenth Avenue freeze-out

Tenth Avenue freeze-out

Tenth Avenue freeze-out

Tenth Avenue freeze

I'm talking 'bout a Tenth

Oh, nothing but a Tenth

I'm talking 'bout a Tenth

I'm talking bout a Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth

Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, I'm talking 'bout a

Tenth Avenue freeze-out
